Brooklyn gypsies:One catches light festival

Brooklyn Gypsies presents the second-annual One Catches Light Festival, celebrating new solo work of five writers associated with the company, hosted by Olander "Big O" Wilson. Icarus in the L.E.S. is a kaleidoscopic performance-poem by Nic Adams, with the wax-winged hero chasing his destiny and scouting out the divide between artistic achievement and personal happiness. I Have No Room for the Broken, written by Angela Abreu, is a play about a cascade towards romantic ruin. In Please Google Ukraine, Artem Yatsunov leads the audience through a colorful and somewhat-exaggerated depiction of his homeland. Brooklyn Gypsies first commissioned piece, Anna Peretz Rogovoy’s How difficult is it for one body, is a choreographed rumination on stolen homes, identities and truths. Olander "Big O" Wilson bringsWhat the F*** Was I Thinking?, his raunchy comedy talking politics, personal life and his transition from the South Carolina countryside to New York City.
